Districts in Hong Kong

Because of historical, political and geographical reasons developed only 23.7% of the territory of Hong Kong, of which the land for only 6.8% is used for zhilya.

Not surprisingly, Hong Kong - one of the most densely populated cities in the world with more than 6 400 residents per square kilometr.

The majority of the 7 million residents live in the apartments of high-rise buildings that dominate the skyline of Hong Kong. In total, there are 6,588 high-rise buildings throughout Hong Kong. For comparison, in New York, such buildings "only" 5818, making Hong Kong a true city of skyscrapers.

Despite the fact that this urban landscape much like the living conditions of the majority of people here are far from ideal. Many of them live like dogs in kletkah.

To convey the claustrophobic living structure of the most densely populated districts of Hong Kong, the German photographer Michael Wolf made a beautiful series of photographs, calling it "Architecture of Density» .
